...embryos to fetuses stillborn at nine months. The museum is also testament to the massive medical advances of the past 300 years. The Silver and Steel Gallery juxtaposes clunky antique surgical tools with the sleek instruments used in operating theaters today. Be grateful that the 18th century skull-trepanning brace-and-bit and the brutal mid-19th century "tumor snare" are safely relegated to a blood-spattered past. tel: (44-20) 7869 6560; www.rcseng.ac.uk/services/museums
...teammates to catch her. At cheerleading camp, she ends up sporting an ice pack after one of them, inattentive for a split second, accidentally socks her in the face with an elbow.

Gooey gels clot the lens, and the camera sways without reason like an inebriated gyroscope; bring a neck brace. But Adlon holds his focus on his heroine, who, in ecstasy or defeat, knows that love means never having to care that you're silly...
...career choice. McCartney, a friend, offered her a job with Chloé in Paris, and by the time she was 27, Philo was at the label's helm. But in a business in which many designers crave the spotlight and egos frequently outpace talent, Philo is nonchalant, modest and (brace yourself) a team player. After a five-month maternity leave for the birth of her daughter, Philo had her assistants take the final bow at Chloé's show in March. Toledano's gamble has paid off. Chloé, which reportedly generates about $200 million a year in wholesale revenue...
